GRAHAM Turner will be back raring to go for next season, insists Hereford United director Joan Fennessy.

And Fennessy is backing Turner to uncover some more gems as the Bulls bid to build another Conference title challenging squad.

Brisk ticket sales to the tune of £20,000 have also signalled supporters remain enthusiastic despite the play-off heartbreak and Fennessy senses optimism all around the Edgar Street stadium.

"We didn't do a lot wrong last season but despite the disappointment everyone connected with the club seems really enthusiastic," she said.

"The supporters have been superb and season tickets have been going very well."

"Graham is OK too and will bounce back," she added.

"It was probably another knock seeing Shrewsbury go through but what's happened has happened and we're all looking forward. Graham's 100 per cent committed and, if anything, even more determined.

"He was very disappointed but he's back to his normal self and I'm sure he will be looking to bring in some more good players.

"The PFA lists are out soon and there are 1,000 players available so there is going to be a great selection.

"Graham's got very good contacts from all his years in the game and I'm sure he'll get in some more good players," said fennessy.

Turner's track record for discovering new talent has helped the cash-starved club survive and with more monies still to come from the Paul Parry transfer to First Division Cardiff City, is hoping to have a slightly increased playing budget for next season.
